Monroe

Monroe


Labrador Retriever
Male
Large (50-90 lbs)
Status: Adopted

Yes – Monroe is as sweet and goofy as he looks. This handsome boy is about as good natured as they come. He likes other dogs (small and large) and he LOVES people. He also loves going on walks, riding in the car, getting petted and playing tug and fetch (his favorite toy right now is his foster’s mom’s 5-lb. weights). Monroe is about 10 years old but in typical Lab fashion he acts like he’s two.

When Monroe came into the shelter he was 30 lbs. underweight. He’s now the perfect weight (75 lbs.) and as a result of having been starved he’s food obsessed. Which makes him very treat motivated and highly trainable!
Monroe’s hind legs aren’t in great shape (probably due to hip dysplasia) and he has a mild case of Cushings disease which is under control with a weekly pill.

Monroe has some medical issues that need to be managed but he’s worth it because his temperament is everything you want in a Lab: sweet, loving, loyal, playful, goofy and unflappable.
